dirk is trying to get it online as soon as possible, the STEX is up, that can be found here:

https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?type=all

dirk is doing his best to get it online but he has other things to do and he is not too well at the moment (see this thread https://www.simtropolis.com/for...d=74705&enterthread=y) Just wait a little while longer and it will be up.

I was also wondering when the mods were going to be back. It's a shame to hear about Dirk being under the weather, and I'm sure we all hope he feels better very soon.

yeah when will the Modds and Downloads be online? oh and where is the NAM please

[sim1234 62]

tankmank: The NAM is in the Modds and Downloads section but it can be found at www.stnam.com. which is the NAM's official website.

I'm a new person here, and I'm very eagerly awaiting the return of the mods and downloads section indeed!

I've learnt from my experiences with other games, such as the fine Morrowind, that it helps to have the modding tools to hand when aquiring mods, as this allows you to properly check them out, tweak them as you need, etc.

Plus, I'm eager to be able to do more than the BAT and such allows!

That section better be done soon. I reinstalled my game at a bad time...

Right, like almost an entire month is soon? Great perspective! Seriously, it's almost as bad as those multi-day movies on CBS.

It's getting done as fast as it can. Dirk was sick for a while, probably due to him staying up too late working on the site and not taking a rest. Give the guy a break once in a while.

All these questions have been answered throughout different threads. Just wait a few days, possibly a week or two, and I'm sure Dirk will have it up and running. For the time being, he is working on the homepage.

Micah,
We are well aware that Dirk has been unwell, and is working on the homepage. Given that no time for the return of the mods and downloads page has ever been mentioned, I personally assumed this to be part of the homepage project.

Indeed, having checked on the main upgrade thread regularly for the first week or so afterwards, little or no information was given about that service previously offered.

It has now been quite some time since the upgrade, and the lack of the modds and downloads page is actually making it quite difficult for newcomers to get properly involved in the community. The tools availible there are important for making the most of the STEX and getting involved in contributing to it, as far as I can gather. Many people have been directed at this site specifically for those said tools.

We're not asking for a fully detailed and well designed page, just some links to the files previously listed would let those of us yet to aquire them quite happy indeed.

Alright Alright, Dirk is cool. For puting his health on the line for the community, I can live with that.

I assume though that www.simtropolis.com has been the only website willing to host the various mods your looking for. Which is why no other links have been given. The only Link given I've seen so for is the imperative NAM plugin. Really NAM is all I need, because it takes care of my commute times very well.

Dirk, to be honest, rawks completely. Having worked for a major website before, ran student organisations, and done a few other related things, I can totally sympathise with him. At no point would I have ever given him personally any trouble, as we humans tend to (1) be unable to help being ill, and (2) work too hard for things we dearly love

As far as I know, ST is the only place hosting most of these files. I had assumed that they are held physically as files on the server (as opposed to being within a database), and hence simple links to them could be offered to allow us to get to work.
NAM certainly looks interesting, but as I have said before, I have experience in using mods, and have learnt the hard way that if you are able to understand and use the modding tools, get the tools first and examine every mod to make sure it does exactly what you want. I personally want to investigate the all changes NAM makes before installing it.

I'm building up my experience with BAT in what little spare time I have at the moment, but a lot of my ideas will need the more advanced modding tools that the modds and downloads page once linked to.

Having not yet found explicit information on the return of that page, it is quite understandable that many of us, eager to get more involved with the community, are getting a little frustrated

Could anyone tell me when abouts the Modds and downloads section be online? i can wait a little longer but i wold appreciate it thought  please dirk we would love you too

Dear TankMank,

Yes, I'm being formal, I've found it to be a good way to get noticed.

You see, it tends to be polite to check for other threads before posting, to see if there is any better news around. And if you had looked, you would have found this alternative modds and downloads sources thread, which might help you get what you need, and prevent you from annoying any mods, by containing any posts on this matter to one single constuctive location.

I want it back up soon too, but intill then, let's try and create the best alternative we can
